  • "Brinyloft is a lovely, comfortable little place to stay with lots of local walks, a train station and beach in very close proximity."

    A certain amount of attention is required to some aspects of the property. The oven temperature knob is not operational and fell off at first touch and all the symbols on the appliance have been worn away, which left us searching for the manual online in order to use it correctly when cooking. There was a dirty frying pan in the cupboard, which we had to wash just so it was clean for future guests. On the whole, the kitchen would benefit from an upgrade as the lamination is separating on the cupboard doors. We needed to prop the shower head up with a sponge to prevent it from continuously drooping downwards. We also noticed it was mentioned in the Welcome Booklet that a mat is provided to place on the rug in the dining area for children’s mealtimes, however this was not found so we used a bin bag instead. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend this accommodation to others. The complimentary milk, chocolate buttons and tote bag were very most appreciated, thank you.

    Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate your feedback and you will be pleased to hear the oven has been replaced and new frying pans have been put in the kitchen. We look forward to your next stay, please do get in touch if you have any queries. Kind regards - Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "A comfortable, well equipped apartment which we would book again in a good location for St Ives with easy access to Carbis Bay beach, station and coastal path."

    However, a couple of small issues such as missing vanity in bedroom which we reported to Carbis Bay Holidays.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We shall look into the points you have raised for future improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "The overall stay was very good, unfortunately the electric oven had a fault which was not fixed until the Tuesday of our visit."

    Which meant we had to eat out for 3 nights. Good location for the beach and the train. I would recommend that older people are informed that the car parking space is a step climb from the property.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feed back, we are very glad to hear that you had a good stay and that the issues with the oven were resolved during your visit. We hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards the Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  • "Excellent property for a week away."

    Whilst there's (virtually) no sea view from the house it's well located. Beach five minutes down the hill and Carbis Bay station two minutes away. The station is ideal both for quickly getting to/from St Ives, heading out for walks or exploring further away. The patio area is somewhat misrepresented in the photos, in reality it's a small external stairwell not suitable for sitting out. The property was clean and well presented on arrival, there are a few marks etc. but really nothing significant. Whilst the parking place is a couple of hundred metres (and many stairs) away it was no bother to load/unload at the door then park. I'd recommend Carbis Bay as a location, much quieter that St Ives but close enough to wal/train quickly. Overall I'd recommend this property and would book again.

  • "Once this was a lovely, well thought out apartment, great decor but nine years on, needs refurbishment, from rug, shower, paintwork, chipped dishes, outdoor area broken bench."

    I cannot say the info I read was dishonest, but I expected a balcony to sit on, a sea view that wasn’t just a gap between other apartments and a garden as stated, not a path to the front door. Beds were very comfortable and the mezzanine area fabulous for youngsters. A well kitted out kitchen was helpful, do let people know it’s a Nespresso coffee machine, boy, did I need a coffee upon arrival after a long journey.Unloading car tricky as parking area well away from apartment and trying to contact the emergency number upon arrival, simply got me an automated message selling this holiday! Disappointing. Thank you for milk left in fridge, a welcome starter pack would have been so nice though (including a coffee pod or two!)

    We are sorry that your over all stay was disappointing. We shall look into the points made for improvements in the future. Our local office is open 9-5.30, Monday to Saturday on 01736 630015 and is based in the local area. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Loved the property, good size, especially bedroom and perfect location for beach and station."

    The bed was the most comfortable we have ever had on holiday, which is saying something as both have bad backs! Only issue was the mezzanine twin bedroom got incredibly hot so would be useful to have a fan to use up there( fortunately took ours but had to lend to my sister the week she stayed!) The turquoise bench outside the porch was sadly rotting wood in several places so collapsed a bit when I tried to sit on it and really should have been removed as could have had a nasty accident- reported it to Carbis Bay holidays. But needs to be removed from photos as definitely made it look a nice area to sit on for a drink or cuppa! A few listed items were missing when we arrived ( again reported) Bose sound system in lounge, hairdryer and small freestanding mirror in main bedroom but the rep did drop by with a new hairdryer. Bit annoying that we had to go and buy oven gloves as well, as burnt ourselves on the hot oven- surely they should be a standard? We were advised to bring tea towels but not oven gloves.

  • "When we first entered couldn’t find the instruction manual which was well hidden."

    The staff at Carbis bay holidays were very helpful and we eventually found it. Parking space is a bit far from the actual apartment. Other than that, location is amazing, the beach beautiful. Found the little touches very welcoming, milk in the fridge, tea and coffee available, things like bin bags and freezer blocks already there. Would definitely return.

    It had everything we needed and more. It was comfortable, clean and spacious. The beds were comfy, the kids loved the little space upstairs for their room, (many hide and seek spaces) Would definitely recommend this property. Thank you for allowing us to use your home.

  • "We spent a week at Brinyloft in August ‘23 and absolutely loved it - sad that it’s already booked for my available dates last year."

    Have stayed many times in Compass Point before but chose Brinyloft as was £500 cheaper - expected it to be a lesser property because of that but was so happy with it, cozy, clean and perfect for a family of 3 / 4. Parking space was a dream after staying in others that don’t have one that fit my car. Perfect base for beach holiday. Would happily stay again

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

There is a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100 for this property.

There is an internal staircase with 12 steps up to the second bedroom.

The owners do have a cat which they will occasionally bring to the property.
